Page 54 of the explanatory statement that I tabled in November explained that the intent of clause 55 was to support the continuation of flexible contracting arrangements, especially concerning the making of fees for a territory-owned facility. The amendments that I am tabling today for clause 17 are necessary to avoid any potential doubt in relation to the fee-setting process and procedures for territory-owned pools. Government amendment 5 is consequential to those amendments and will remove note 2 from clause 55 as the application of the pool fee guidelines is now expressly provided for under clause 17.
The government amendments are supported by a supplementary explanatory statement which I will also table today.
The government is committed to ensuring the continued health and wellbeing of Canberrans as they utilise our high quality pool facilities in the territory, while simultaneously reducing unnecessary red tape. I now commend the bill and the government amendments to the Assembly.
Question resolved in the affirmative.
Bill agreed to in principle.
